So... yeah... thanks to my sister and her friends that are fans of this story, I have decided to finish the story...
I guess.
"Oh My God , there's so much food~!" Mirai exclaimed walking into the kitchen were the others were putting away food for the party.
The space rented included a kitchen, a huge bathroom, and paintable walls. The hall was huge and underground, more than enough for a thousand people... and they would be catering to just that many with only four days left to cook, decorate, and send out invitations.
"There you are Mirai," Kira started looking at here from across the room, " How's the invitations going?"
"Everything is in order, we just need them finalized, the equipment should be coming in soon and other than that I think we're in good standing... What about the food?"
He frowned and looked at the pounds of frozen food sitting on the counters as Gael, Ptolemy, and Ryo began to set up the stove and grease pans, " Coming along... are Akira and Sasuke done with the walls?"
"Yep, their going to start painting once Miko, Mizu, and Shino put the strobe lights and stuff up."
"Who knows maybe we can actually pull this off?" Kira said and kissed her cheek as he came near her.
Once the food was put up and organized in the freezer to where they could easily find things, Kira switched places with Akira. Armed with cans of neon, glow in the dark, and washable paint the other ten set to work filling in Akira and Sasuke's artful design along the walls. A witch's eyes, the black cat that seemed to pop off the wall, the ghosts, ghouls, and laughing pumpkins over the white floor would definitely cause an eerie look when completed.
"Whoo~! I think that does it!" Kiva said stanidng back as Mirai climbed down off the ladder and into Kiva's arms.
"Off with the lights and let's test it." The lights turned off and the walls glowed with the glow in the dark pani. When the black lights turned on the floor lit up with an eerie blue that would look perfect hidden beneath dry ice clouds.
"I like it..."Sasuke announced as the horn honked from above.
"That sounds like a delivery..." Mirai said racing up in to the blinding light of the sun.
Naomi's truck was there, the back filled with all the equipment they ordered the last few days.
"It's all here!" Naomi exclaimed had made a few calls to a few people she knew and it all came within a few days... she wanted to kiss the girl.
They carried the metal detector, the scanner, the band's platform and everything else down the stairs and into the painted room to set up the auxiliaries, tap down wires to the floor with white tape and making sure that everything was perfectly hidden. Three system checks latter, the rest of the band Myth showed up with their equipment to set up and do their own systems check. By then Akira came out of the kitchen, leaving the boys in the heated kitchen as the mini cupcakes baked and food simmered and all the eyes on the stove were used.
"Let's see how well this turn table works..." Akira started.
"You DJ too?" Sasuke inquired and she laughed.
"I do a lot of things." She put a headphone to her ear and turned on the digital mixer, plugging in her Ipod.
The speakers, disguised as jack-o-lanterns and black cats engulfed the room with beat and sounds of Linkin Park, mixed with something else no one could name.
"More than that I brought lunch!" Naomi announced carrying bags of already cooked food down into the basement. Food was distributed and Akira continued to spin tracks and warm up her voice for the real voice test after everyone ate.
"Alright Vix start it up..."Galen said with a smile and she picked up her guitar pressing her fingers down and began to play on of her favorite songs: Feel the Disease by Kissing Violet.
You kiss
You lips... Your touch..
It's dangerous
Come close
Don't stop
Make me... be dangerous..
Come here to me....
I'm waiting
Feel the disease
You'll be dying in my arms tonight
Come here to me
I'm waiting
Feel the disease
You'll be dying in my arms tonight
One taste
One lick
Now you're addicted
Deadly Wicked
Now we're infected
Come here to me....
I'm waiting
Feel the disease
You'll be dying in my arms tonight
Come here to me
I'm waiting
Feel the disease
You'll be dying in my arms tonight
"So... What do you think about doing a cover night of all the awesome creepy songs?" Akira asked as the system was turned off and she started to compile a list of songs they could perform or already knew.
"Sure why not... does it all have to be cover?"
"No but it'd be nice if we had a bit of our own... we have those two really creep songs I suppose but you know we have to do the classics...OH and we have to wear awesome costumes!" Akira said.
"Does black cut it?" Galen asked being completely opposed to dressing up.
"Sure... I think I still have that costume... this is going to be so much fun~!" Akira said happily and raced back into the kitchen to set the next batch of food and start cooling the finished food.
The week ended slowly, quickly, and on edge. Sasuke hadn't said much since he'd met Nakita and the other's prescence seemed to enrage him further. The guys wondered when he was going to snap.
"So... you two aren't dating?" Ryo asked with a smug smirk.
Sasuke glared at him, "Save it."
They laughed at his plight and gasped as Nakita's words drifted towards them.
"We should catch up Aki... tomorrow for lunch alright?"
"Do I have a choice in the matter?"
"Not one."
She pouted and smiled, " Fine, I conceed I guess."
Ryo and the others directed their attention to Sasuke's dark look that slowly melted into nothingness. What was he thinking?
Doesn't matter... I was never good enough I guess...
"So... tell me about them... your friends I mean..." Nakita started as the waitress brought them lunch.
"They are... the definition of interesting."
"What do you mean?"
"For the most part, they are the types to cheer up even the dreariest of days... Kira and Kiva are the pair that really seem to be the duo of the year, although Miko, Mizu, Ptolemy, and Gael have a very interesting dynamic... Wonder how that's going to work when they get married... They are definitely long term... Kyoshiro and Kiva seem to have an interesting dynamic even though sometimes there's a part of Shino that is only visible to Kiva... she's far too confident to have such a timid boyfriend... I mean... they have to go head to head in some capacity..."
"Is that so?" He asked staring at her across the table and wondering where he fit into her grand plan of life... Was he really just another person to her?
He hoped not they used to be so close.
"Mirai and Hinata have got to be the most timid girls I've ever met... except when their angry then they curse like sailors..."
He laughed, "and the other one?"
"Other one?" She asked.
"Itachi's brother... the one that glares at me a lot..."
"Oh.. Sasuke? He glares at you?"
"He hates my guts... he thinks I'm dating you."
She laughed, she loved her family but she wasn't into incest at all... even in the distant kind, "Ew... no. You're like a brother..."
"I know," He said smiling at her.
They were married in cousins but when they met no one could have teared them apart... in some ways he was closer and more protective than her twin.
"Sasuke... he's... mysterious you could say.. he's... not that easy to figure out... but he's not hard to read... He's... like... a puzzle with a million layers... you have to hit it just right to open it completely or you'll never get anywhere..."
He raised an eyebrow at the light in her eyes, she was happy. THe smile on her lips made him wonder if they were dating, " Are you dating him?"
"God no, we're just good friends... that and I'm trainning him."
"OH~..."
He wants to date you and you're too oblivious to notice it...
Same old Akira.
They finished lunch and he took her home. The party was the next day and she had things to do in the morning. What a crazy week it had turned out to be.
The bass reverberated through the ground as person after person was admitted and an automatic playlist was set in motion as they waited for Akira to arrive with the rest of the girls. Nakita saw everyone that walked in and mingled with crowd and just when everyone was sure Akira would make it the band began to play a haunting melody and her alto voice leaked into the room.
"Long lost words, whisper slowly to me... still can't find what keeps me here..."
Sasuke spotted her first from his position against a far wall as she walked up onto stage and the song continued as it were. Black, all black, and her hair was shoulder length and dark red for the night, glinting blood crimson in the light and her clothing glowed in the black lights.
Oh why on earth does she have to look so...
He was thinking delicious, like a chocolate cake smothered in real chocolate icing and begging to be eaten... but that would require ice cream... and licking... and he refused to allow his mind to go that far.
He was roused from his arousing daydream by her voice through the speakers.
"Welcome to the awesome Halloween party of the year~! We're The Myth and we'll be covering a few songs tonight as well as adding a few of our own, Happy Halloween~!"
"You take reequests?!"
"Can I request your number?!"
She laughed, sultry, into the microphone, "I don't think my brother would appreciate you making passes at me. But never mind that, on with the show!"
Another song he recognized started, equally as creepy and it surprised him that she would be singing it, playing the guitar.
"You fell away, what more can I say? The feeling's evolved.. I won't let it out... I can't replace... yor screaming face. Feeling the sickness inside~!
WHY WON'T YOU DIE~...! YOUR BLOOD AND MINE~...! WE'LL BE FINE~...! THEN YOUR BODY WILL BE MINE~...."
He bit his lip and groaned at her soft voice through the speaker and the soft motion of her hips to the music, she exuded appeal and it wasn't fair. He hoped it would get no worse. than her screaming angry voice... He was wrong.
"So many words... can describe my fate... this feeling's evolved... so soon to break out. I can't relate... to a happy state... Feeling the blood run inside~... WHY WON'T YOU DIE~...! YOUR BLOOD AND MINE~...! WE'LL BE FINE~...! THEN YOUR BODY WILL BE MINE~...."
The instrumental break spared him no grief. She rocked her head making her hair wild and over her face in a devil may care and inviting appearance.
"Why is everything so fucking hard for me?... Keep me down to watch you think, I should be. Must you tempt and provoke the ministry? Keep on trying I won't die so easily."
"I will not die..." Galen's screaming voice added in the back ground.
"Why is everything so fucking hard for me?"
"I will not Die."
"Why is eveyything so fucking hard for me?"
"I will not Die."
"Why won't you die? Your blood and 'll be fine.... Then your body will be mine~...."
He bit his lip at the inviting look her amber eyes projected and wondered if he was the only male feeling that way. He knew the answer was no.
"You want more?" She asked smiling at the crowd and they cheered and the band started up again.
The night wen ton vampire song after vampire song... They played "Not Meant For Me", "Forsaken" (at which he thought he was going to orgasm in his pants), and a few other songs that belonged to them alone which he could not place. They had just finished Paramore's Decode and they were down to their last song of the night.
If he remembered correctly it was supposed to be the creepiest song ever created: Slept So Long. They played and then Akira's eyes went blank as the song ended and the crowd was screaming for an encore.
Someone had caught her attention... she didn't look happy either.
How dare he smile at me... that sick no goo... bastard...
Tsuzuki, her ex-best friend that betrayed her in the worst way possible and then pretended that he never knew her looked at her with confident eyes. He thought she would punk out.
"I think we can deal with an encore right guys?" She asked and took her microphone and set her guitar down.
"Ignorance." She told Galen who scanned the crowd and understood. He started the song.
"For our encore, we dedicate this to all the bast stabbing bastards of the world... you know who you are..."
"If I'm a bad person, you don't like me.
Well I guess I'll make my own way...
It's a circle, I mean cycle.
I can't excite you anymore... "
She turned her angry eyes to her cousin and father across the hall, addressing them all with this song and glaring, screaming her anger and pain into the lyrics.
"Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge, but if you're going to judge me
Sentence me to another life."
Don't wanna hear your sad songs
Don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same, no
We're not the same, no
Oh, we're not the same
Yeah, the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I wish you could accept that the change is good
It's good, it's good
Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
She was dancing her anger now, showing off her strength of heart through ignoring thier disapproving looks. It didn't matter what any of them thought. She was free.
Screw the rules she was Akira.
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
This is the best thing that could've happened
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war, no
It's not a rapture
I'm just a person, but you can't take it
The same tricks that, that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
Well, now I can fend for myself
Don't wanna hear your sad songs
Don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same, no
We're not the same, no
Oh, we're not the same
Yeah, we used to stick together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
It's good, it's good
Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
He didn't know why, but Sasuke had the strange urge to find out who she was addressing and beat the life out of them for whatever pain they caused her.
Oh right... I'm in love with Akira... that's why.
He shook his head as the song began to wind down and her moves were becoming more and more tempting. After the band gig she would be acting as resident DJ.
Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger!
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir!
I guess I'll go!
I best be on my way out !
The lights blinked off and the crowd cheered for her performance. When they faded back on, she was gone and the band was packing up their respective instruments leaving only the turn tables in tact and spinning for when she took up her place. Sasuke searched for her, but she found him standing beside the refreshment table, refilling the punch bowl.
"That's not drugged is it?" Akira asked.
He gave her cup of the batch just out of the kitchen, the clean batch and smiled, " If you get it from the kitchen it's clean."
"Sweet." She downed the glass and carried on with her entertainment duties.
No one threw up, no fights were started, and it all ended peacefully with the least amount of people drunk and the most amount of people seeking the members of Myth for autographs and deals. All in all it was success.
The crew packed up everything and scrubbed down the whole hall around five o'clock the next morning and everything was packed away to be transported to Ryo's home.
"You've done a wonderful job, I'll make sure to call you anytime we throw a party..." Nakita said smiling.
He hugged Akira goodbye as she crawled, basically, into the back seat of Mira's car and was hauled off towards home exhausted from the night.
Sasuke climbed into the car with Ryo, as he was spending the night with them and crashed into bed, asleep before his head even touched the pillow.
He could get used to this.
